    Yes I still have them, a bit less
    than a while ago but I have
    them. Some days or most are
    o.k. but someone says some-
    thing I don't like and I get very
    mad but it does not last long.

    Probably the biggest thing is
    an awfull lot of loneliness
    of ❤ and no one in the family
    seems to understand what I am
    going through. Not just the loss
    of a dainty dearness but the
    plans, the future we had talked
    about.

    I do have things working out
    for me and that is good but my
    ❤ and mind were very glad
    when Sofia was in my life.

    I have an awfull lot of ?'s that
    can not be answered and as
    'TheyLiv' said, Anger spreads
    thru a large part of your life."
    I get mad quicker and hotter
    than I have in a long long time.
    and one of my sisters is a good
    reason for that. Does a nice
    thing, then tarnishes it abit.

    Guess I really have to look
    around for a psychologist or
    mental expert as this is just
    too much for me.

    it’s comforting to know that i’m not the only one who has mood swings. tiny things trigger my anger and i just lose it. i feel like a teenager all over again and i need to re-learn how to quell my temper. i, too, have a sibling to thank for making me this angry. he was so unsupportive during and after our mom’s sudden massive fatal stroke. i was the one who stepped up and was her hospice caregiver for 8 agonizing days until she finally passed. i’m the one left with ptsd from being her caregiver, but he tells me i’m selfish. i honestly feel like i’ve moved past my grief. but i’m stuck in anger. like you, most days, i’m okay. then there are days that i’m not. i feel like they are less, but they’re still there and i worry that it will end up destroying the good relationships in my life.

    Dear leftbehind18,
    I am so sorry for your loss.
    It is worse I think when a
    daughter loses a mom than
    a Dad because women
    understand women better.

    I know I know very little here
    but it seems your brother has
    an awful lot of growing up to
    do.

    You were there for your Mom.
    What, aside from being an un-
    supportong jack-ass was he
    doing while you were doing
    your best to help your Mom?
    Nothing but complain I'd
    imagine.

    This was so not the time for
    him to be an ass but to be
    loving and helpful. Sadly I
    would give him an 'F' because
    he was not there when he
    damn well should have been.

    I think you are a gr8 lady, you
    were there for Mom and so
    lovingly at that. You did a very
    good thing in the midst of a
    deep sadness. God loves you
    For that.

    Dear, hang out with Jesus.
    Tell him your fears and
    ask him to help you.
